North Medford High School, a place with lots of different and unique students. Some of these students go to our GSA Club (Gay-Straight Alliance). This is North’s LGBT+ club. We meet every Tuesday in H-27.

We talk about lots of topics, but we mostly just have fun. According to Eliana, “GSA Club allows me to be who I am, not fake.” Also, according to another anonymous member, “Its a comfortable environment where we can be ourselves.” Most of the members in the club feel its a place they feel safe. According to Ash Rose, the leader of GSA Club, “I’m an advocate for students at North. Especially LGBT+ kids.” The club is an entertaining place where students can be who they really are and not fear being judged or told that they are wrong. Not only that, but it’s a good way for students to make friends. “We hang out with lots of amazing people and make friends” says Abby, another member. This place isn’t just for LGBT+ kids. Its also for straight allies. They even sometimes do fundraisers, such as bake sales.

Its a place everybody can feel accepted. Remember, this is a judgment free place. So, only come if you are accepting of all sexualities and genders. Next time you are bored on Tuesday at lunch, come hang out in H-27! New members are always welcome.
